| From Dover Publications: In 1848 three young artists, William Holman Hunt, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and John Everst Millias, rebelled against what they saw as what they saw as the stale, fornulic art being produced by the Royal Academy. Calling them selves the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood these three -and others who followed their lead- sought to paint real unidealized models in real backgrounds. In this spectacular full color edition six of the best known of these artists are represented with meticulous art-card reproductions and drawings from Harvard UNiverstioy's Fogg Art Museum. Among these 24 works are Rossetti's Lucretia Borgia, La Donna della Finestra, MY lady Greensleeves, and The Blessed Damozel; Millais' The Huguenot; Hunt's Miracle of Holy Fire; Sir Galahd by George Frederic Watts; La Rosa de L'Infante by Ford Madox Brown; and The Depths of the Sea, Pan and Psyche, Flamma Vistalis, and six others by Edward Coley Burne-Jones.
